1969 Map of Gallegos

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Ute Creek winds through this arid landscape of Harding County, defining the drainage patterns and ranching boundaries of the late 1960s. The settlement of Gallegos is a focal point of this rangeland, supported by the historic Gallegos Ranch and a nearby Cem. The map reveals a highly developed network of water management essential for livestock, featuring numerous named sources like the Lower Andrews Windmill, Twin Windmills, and several deep wells including Askins Well and Flowers Well. Cattle ranching operations are documented through established outposts such as Osborn Ranch, Pomroy Ranch, and the isolated Prajetes Camp. Along the southern reach, Ramirez Draw and Carros Creek cut through the terrain, while New Mexico 65 provides the primary transit artery, passing a quiet Roadside Park and the scenic breaks of Rincon Colorado.
